You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The hypotenuse is the line opposite the right angle. It is always the longest of the 3 lines in a right triangle.
\n" ); document.write( "If you add up the squares of each of the other 2 lines they will add up EXACTLY to the square of the hypotenuse.
\n" ); document.write( "That's nice, but usually you have to find out what the unsquared hypotenuse is.
\n" ); document.write( "To do that we need to get the square root of the hypotenuse.
\n" ); document.write( "Let's try one out.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "one side is 5 and the other is 12 what is the hypotenuse (c)?
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%5E2%2B12%5E2=c%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"25%2B144=c%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"169=c%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "What is the square root of 169? A. 13 because 13*13=169
\n" ); document.write( "So, c=13
\n" ); document.write( "The hypotenuse is 13
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Good luck on the test.
\n" ); document.write( "Stay cool.
